From: Jonas Danielsson <jo...@orbital-systems.com> This fixes a bug where our embedded system (AT91SAM9260 based) would hang at reboot. At the most we managed 16 boot loops without a hang.
With this patch applied the problem has not been observed and the board has managed above 250 boot loops. The AT91SAM9260 datasheet tells us that with the instruction cache disabled all instructions are fetched from SDRAM. And we have an errata telling us we must power down the SDRAM before issuing cpu reset. This means we need the instruction cache enabled in at91sam9260_reset() At the moment it is being disabled in cpu_proc_fin() which is called from arch/arm/kernel/reboot.c.
